Comparison
AdjiCera vs Microsoft Teams
The privacy-first alternative: transcribe on your device, no bot in your meeting, and an encrypted peer-to-peer Call — nothing left in the cloud.
AdjiCera's Approach
- On-device transcription: your meeting audio is transcribed locally, not uploaded
- Nothing uploaded to the cloud — your notes stay on your device
- Encrypted, peer-to-peer Call for private conversations
- Works offline for local recording and transcription
- Free for professionals — see pricing
Microsoft Teams' Approach
- A cloud collaboration platform combining chat, channels, meetings and calls across Microsoft 365
- Meeting recordings, transcripts and AI summaries are processed and stored in the Microsoft cloud
- Transcription and AI meeting summaries run as cloud services
- Requires an internet connection and a Microsoft 365 account for cloud features
- Free tier with limits, plus paid Microsoft 365 subscription plans
